Ah, finally some blue again, the last 3 images I voted on were pictures of the moon, without blue! Argh. Glad someone read the challenge description!!

I don't understand the title, I guess it's something technical. There are some beautiful deep blue gems, and some funky little ceramic-like balls. I like the DOF and focus. The group of balls in the distance feel like an audience watching the closer part of the scene. I might prefer having the in-focus area, the main subject of the scene, be brighter though, and keep the brightest areas away from the edges like the top edge seems to have right now. I like the composition and how you've cropped tightly.

I'll carry it all.

Unfortunately they do sometimes don't they. I like the non-perfection of this. Adds to the burden.

a little bit of a ghost image. the background seems to be more in focus than the subject.

Not counting off for the noise, as that may have been a part of the mood, I am not sure, but I do like the softness. The motion blur of the arms and hands, however, I do not like.

This is nervous strength, and looks a bit vulnerable. Nice grainy picture though.

Comment by BobsterLobster:
Wonderful photo, but says the opposite of strength to me. The posture communicates self-doubt and despair.
